update* and findAndModify methods do not update audit fields. [DATAMONGO-869]

[spring-projects-issues]

Poorna Subhash opened DATAMONGO-869 and commented

DATAMONGO-811 addressed the update of @Version field.

But both update* and findAndModify methods lack in updating audit fields @CreatedBy, @LastModifiedBy, @CreatedDate, @LastModifiedDate .

Currently I am using workaround by writing aspects on MongoTemplate methods. Explained here http://poornasubhash.blogspot.in/2013/06/spring-mongodb-auditing-and-extensions.html.

It would be nice if this is included as part of framework.

The problem: MongoTemplate's doFindAndUpdate(..) and doUpdate(..) don't have listeners yet.

Auditing is applied only when working with entities directly via IsNewAwareAuditingHandler and not for query-based/bulk updates. Query-based updates require an association to an entity type, updates using just a collection name cannot participate in auditing updates

My Auditing fields aren't setted even if entity class is passed on method

the updatedAt is setted during document creation, because i call the ReactiveMongoReposiroty method save() but when using reactive mongo template updateFirst or findAndModify with entity class, it doesn't work properly

Spring Boot Version 2.2.6.RELEASE
Spring data mongodb reactive Version: 2.2.6.RELEASE

Is this going to be fixed?
It is very uncomfortable without this feature.

[PixelBumper]

I would love to help fixing this. As far as I have understood some callbacks are missing. Am I on the right track when looking at maybeCallBeforeConvert&maybeCallBeforeSave?

So, what is the workaround ??
In my project, we benefit from the atomicity of the findAndModify operation because converter is not used when inserting a new document.
